    Can i swap ews 2 systems and have car start ?

    Hey everyone i am new to the e36 scene and hoping to get my car running!
    I have found out my DME has water damage on my 1998 e36 318is so i am thinking of swapping it out with the one from a donor car i have. What i want to make sure of is will it work on my personal car if i also swap out the ews2 module and get a key & transponder chip programmed to suit since i know its all vin specific. In theory this should work but would like someone to confirm.

    Hi,

    I'd suggest asking this in the specific E36 section as this one is for car audio and associated electronics.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    You can just get a spare dme for 318 and simply sync ews.. it's super easy.
